(The original Dance Pals)

Dance Pals are an adorable way to help your students dress properly for class! On one side you have an illustrated dancer (various options available), which you or your students can color in. On the other side you have room for a checklist for your studio. It's simple and easy to customize to your studio.

I created Dance Pals with the help of an artistically-inclined friend to encourage my students (and parents!) to dress appropriately for ballet class. Students were proud of their Dance Pals; they gave them names, and arrived better prepared for class. Since my studio was very diverse, I presented them with differently shaded options, so they could always have a Dance Pal that looked like them. If a dancer arrived to class looking sloppy, I would have them think back to how their Dance Pal was dressed, and they would realize the solution themselves. Parents thought they were adorable, which made them more inclined to actively ensure their child was ready for class.

These would be great for an open house, first day of class, or dance camp. Print them out as is, photocopy, laminate them, or give them out as Holiday ornaments…the options are endless.

There are three template options: Girl with Ballet Skirt, Girl without Ballet Skirt, and Boy Dancer. Additionally, I can colorized them in photoshop for you, so you can easily print off a bunch without having to color them in yourself. Likewise, I can also type in your studio dress code.
